My Life

I was standing downtown, downtown
Staring at the pebbles on the ground
Tryin to figure out a way up out of this town
And I know yeah, I'm not the only one
So many people out there chase the sun
If you're looking for a free ride, you better run child
Or you sure won't get too far, oh
You'd better dance a dance
To make the rain come down
If you want to be a star, oh my life
My life
(Brother you know)
Sure ain't been too easy
My life
(Sister you know)
The life I wanna live
My life
(Mama you know)
You're gonna go through changes
My life
No turnin back
(I'm tellin you no)
Every now and then
I wanna throw my hands up in the sky
Cos one day I know I'll be flyin high
And I know yeah I got to get down
On my knees and pray
Cos in heart I know I'll see that day
When my freedom comes along
I'm gonna run child
Cos I know that I'll go far oh, oh
Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down
And they know who they are, oh my life
My life
(Brother you know)
Sure ain't been too easy
My life
(Sister you know)
The life I wanna live
My life
(Mama you know)
You're gonna go through changes
My life
No turnin back
(I'm tellin you no)
(x2)
No turning back
Yeah oh baby
No turning back
Yeah oh
No turning back
Yeah oh baby
No turning back
Yeah
No turning back
